FTP connection WebPlayer SecurityException: Unable to connect, as no valid crossdomain policy was found
Hi, i am creating WebPlayer game where you can save and load based on your login/password. I need to connect to my Ftp server that is secured with login and password. crossdomain.xml is included in the root folder of my server.
webClient.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
string js = webClient.DownloadString("ftp://ftp.domain.com/saveData/saveData.json");
savingData = js;
I always got an SecurityException: Unable to connect, as no valid crossdomain policy was found. if i change the url to an classic webserver without any security with the same crossdomain.xml file it works fine. I was also trying FtpWebRequest methods with the same result.
Any ideas what can be wrong ? Thank you
An FTP connection is not a HTTP connection. Therefore i would say your FTP server needs to run a socket policy server on port 843 or on a different port and you have to call Security.PrefetchSocketPolicy manually. The crossdomain.xml file in the root folder of a webserver only grants access to that webserver. Any other ports / protocols aren't affected by this file. Read the linked page carefully.
@BDV:
Unity ships a simple console program (sockpol.exe) which can be run along with your server. It's located at your Unity install path:
Unity/Editor/Data/Tools/SocketPolicyServer/
You can simply run that program with the parameter "--all" and it should enable the webplayer to fetch a policy which allows access to all ports on that server.
sockpol.exe --all
Unity also ships the "sockpol.cs" file which contains the source code of that little program in case you want to implement your own.
